Topic: Fixing MovieplusX6 locked video files [moved]

Does anyone have a "c:\MPX6.reg" file for fixing MovieplusX6 locked video files that they can put online in this forum? I hoping that it will work for any installation of the program.

I cannot locate the file you mention.  I suspect you are referring to a Windows Registry entry.  MVPX6 unlock keys are tied into your product key so the entry from other installations won't work with yours.

Chaps. It is likely that the unlock keys are registration code specific but as no support comes from serif, you could use regedit to put in another code.

I have suceeded in transferring one unlock from my MVPX6 running on Win7 to one running the same edition on a Win10 machine using the reg file so that only the following items are not unlocked: dolby  digital encoding, MPEG4 MPLA decoding. This should mean (and I am yet to check this out) that I should be able to convert video with reasonable resolution to a form that the program will accept (I already know that WMV works) and export to mp4. Will report more later.

Generating the reg file on the Win10 machine after installing the unlock codes from the Win7 machine showed that it was identical.

I can advise that the Digital Edition has nothing unlocked as far as I can see but have yet to try using the reg file on a copy on another machine.

Re: Fixing MovieplusX6 locked video files [moved]

I have now completed some testing and can report the following:

Using any container acceptable to the program (IE file type that it will open) containing video in H264 codec with sound either in AAC or MP3, the file will open for editing at best resolution on my version of X6. It will open video in MPEG1 or MPEG2 but this results in low resolution.

So, provided that you have a video converter program that allows you to select the video codec as well as the audio codec (I use Abelsoft Converter4Video by choice), you can create editable files.

The REG file I have allows features 2, 4, 8, 13, 15, 23, 10 and 7 to be used. I am not sure which these are but I seem to recall that if you try a manual unlocking, the feature number is mentioned.
